About this tour

See Manhattan’s landmarks on foot, then take in the city from above at Top of the Rock. This New York City walking tour pairs a local guide with a ticket to the Rockefeller Center observation deck for a full day of iconic sights and skyline views.

Begin at Wall Street, where you’ll spot the New York Stock Exchange, the Charging Bull, and Fearless Girl. Continue past Ground Zero and City Hall, with views of the Brooklyn Bridge, before exploring Five Points, Chinatown, and Little Italy. The route then heads to the Flatiron Building and up Fifth Avenue, with views of the Empire State Building, Chrysler Building, and Bryant Park. Along the way, discover Grand Central Terminal, Times Square, Rockefeller Center, and St. Patrick’s Cathedral, finishing near the Plaza Hotel.

After the five-hour walk, use your two-hour ticket to visit Top of the Rock. Your guide won’t accompany you at Rockefeller Center, so you can explore the observation deck at your own pace. Book this New York City walking tour for a lively introduction to more than 30 Manhattan sights and memorable views from above.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 1 review. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in New York City
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.1. Top 49% in New York City means it ranks in the top 49% of tours in New York City by this score.
